April in Paris
E.Y. "Yip" Harburg Lyrics

Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war,
Tracy passed away not long after a difficult civil conflict.

Just after I'd wiped away his last tear
Shortly after I had dried his last tear.

I guess he's better off than he was before,
I suppose he is in a better place now than he was before.

A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
By far better off than the foolish people he left behind.

I used 2 cry 4 Tracy because he was my only friend
I cried for Tracy because he was my only friend.

Those kind of cars don't pass you every day
You don't often come across those kinds of people in your life.

I used 2 cry 4 Tracy because I wanted to see him again,
I used to cry for Tracy wanting to see him again someday.

But sometimes sometimes life ain't always the way...
But sometimes, life doesn't happen the way we want it to.

Sometimes it snows in April
Occasionally, it snows in April.

Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes, I feel very bad and down.

Sometimes I wish life was never ending,
At times, I wish life could go on forever.

And all good things, they say, never last
Good things come to an end, as they say.

Springtime was always my favorite time of year,
Springtime used to be my favorite season.

A time 4 lovers holding hands in the rain
A season when lovers hold hands while walking in the rain.

Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
Now, spring only reminds me of Tracy's sadness and tears.

Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain
We should always cry for love and never for pain, according to Tracy.

He used 2 say so strong unafraid to die
Tracy would say that he was fearless and was not afraid to die.

Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
He was not afraid of death, which made me feel stunned.

No, staring at his picture I realized
Looking at his picture, I came to a realization.

No one could cry the way my Tracy cried
Tracy had a unique way of crying that no one else could replicate.

I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
I frequently dream of heaven and I believe that Tracy is there.

I know that he has found another friend
I know that he has made another friend in heaven.

Maybe he's found the answer 2 all the April snow
Perhaps he knows the answer to why it snows in April.

Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again
Possibly, I will reunite with Tracy one day.

But all good things, they say, never last
Once again, I am reminded that good things do not last.

And love, it isn't love until it's past
Love is not true love until it has passed.
